I've got the T-mobile version, and it looks like there's 31 new commits waiting to be spit out into a new 10.1 nightly:

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/p4tmo/next

But I have no idea what impact they'll have (i.e. improvements or not?). And it looks like the builds are monthly (I think?) now so if something is broken, there's no guarantee of getting a fix in a timely fashion.

Hi,

I would like to install 10.1 on my P7510 tablet and I am wondering whether the nightly builds are stable enough for daily use. I was looking for a release candidate or stable version of 10.1 but could not find any on the wiki page.
Currently I have stock ICS Rom installed.

Also, is it safe to restore with Titanium Backup user apps and system settings after installing the ROM?

Thanks!

Im using the latest nightly and its working just fine.

To answer your second question, yes and no. Restoring apps and apps-data works fine, but i wouldnt restore system settings when you go from 4.0.1 to 4.2.2.

OK, Thanks!
I'll create an update.zip with just the user apps and data then.

Thank you for the quick reply!

OK, I flashed the 10.1 and Gaps and reinstalled Titanium backup.
The original SDcard from ICS resides now in a 771 folder \data\media and my new SDcard is now in storage/emulated/. I guess this is correct?

I changed the permissions on the data folder to 777 in order to be able to move data from the media folder over to the new SDcard location. Is there anything else that should be moved? Is it the correct method to get my data back to where I want it, or should that be done differently?

Thanks!

Well, it seems as if I got myself into a bit of a brickle...

I ended up with data in 4 locations.
There is data in:
data/media/
data/media/0
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy/

There is one Simlink in
/storage that points to
sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy

Another one in File system root that says
SDCard -> /storage/emulated/legacy


My Nandroid Backups are saved in /data/media and if I boot into CWM recovery that is the folder that is displayed as possible zipfile location.
The /data/media/0 folder contains part of the contents of /data/media, but not all of it. The same applies to /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy

What calls my attention is that there is no simlink whatsoever in /storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy that would point to either of the data/media folders.

Here is what happened chronologically ordered:

- Backed up user apps and data with titanium.
- Made a Nandroid Backup with TWRP
- Odined CWM 6.036
- Factory reset/Wiped and wiped cache
- Installed Nightly 20131208 and Gapps
- Booted into system, setup google and installed Titanium from playstore
- Now I wanted to restore the previously made backup, but Titanium could not find the backup folder and even a device-wide search would give no results.
- To solve the problem, I went into /data/media and copied the Titanium folder over to /storage/emulated/0 in order to be able to restore the apps.
- restored apps and apps data. They all function perfectly, are correctly linked to playstore and retained all their data BUT I have no bl..... idea which of the 4 data storage is the good one and should be retained. What should/could be erased and where the actual data is being saved now.

Sorry for the long post! I spent half the night looking through similar threads but they all point out that the data is saved in /data/media and the storage/emulated/* only containes simlinks. I have not encountered a similar case like mine, so I wonder what is the best way to proceed.
Should I wipe the whole system formatting storage completely and start from scratch by saving all relevant to PC and then restoring apps from Titanium?

Maybe I should move this to a new thread in the Q&A section?

Thanks!!

They're all the same. Simply put, once you flashed any 4.2 ROM and above, your files will be moved to /data/media/0 from /data/media. The storage/emulated/legacy/0 or whatever folder are symlinks to /data/media/0. /data/media/0 is the real one. In /data/media, there will only be 3 folders, 0, obb and legacy, there will also be a clockworkmod folder there if you're on cwm recovery and your backups will be placed there. Anything else you should move it to the 0 folder. If you don't have anything important in your tab, you can just format internal storage in recovery and start fresh.

OK. I get it. When I moved the Titanium folder to /storage/emulated/0, I actually moved it physically to /data/media/0 which in consequence made it show up under /storage/emulated/legacy

Correct?

Thanks!!

I flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 with Odin and them flashed cm-10-20130825-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip. Everything went fine except that the all the files and directories that were in the /sdcard before flashing are now in a sub-directory called 0. The newly installed apps are creating directories in /sdcard directory, which contains directory 0. Anyone knows how to fix this?

You can fix that cause its not broken. Thats the way the file structure is with 4.3 and above....its like that because of the new way Android does profiles:silly: for different users.......

Installation failed with this message:

Is there any way to fix the stuttering video playback? This didn't used to be a problem with CM10 but ever since I upgraded my wife's P7510 to the CM10.1 nightlies, video doesn't play smoothly in neither YouTube nor Netflix. That seriously impacts daily usability of the tablet. If this can't be fixed in this ROM, it's there another one you guys know of that works better?

    At pershoots request, here is the official nightly discussion thread. I will be updating this with information that I find and users posts that are helpful. REMEMBER: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS SO ALWAYS READ THE THREE POST FOR UPDATED INFORMATION

    CyanogenMod 10.1 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) which greatly extends the capabilities of your tablet.
    New CM Wiki page! http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
    New CM Documention! http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Documentation

    photo.jpg


    Usual CM disclaimers:
    Code:
    #include 
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     */

    Known Issues (copied from droidbasement):
    -A random flicker (it’s faint and fast) can be observed occasionally/infrequently. If this becomes a nuisance to you, you can try to alleviate this by selecting ‘Disable HW overlays’ in Developer Settings. This does not survive a reboot (must be selected on every boot) and impacts swiping motion (it slows it down) in Trebuchet (the Launcher).
    -P4*: A 720P recording, when played back, will have artifacts in the upper section of the image. Also when launching the recorded video for the first time, you will encounter a bit of a delay before it launches.
    -P4*:If you use the standard GAPPS (from goo), the keyboard will close if typed on for 2 or 3 letters quickly in succession, if you use Google Search, Messaging and/or Gtalk (there could be more). This is a GAPPS library issue. Install a third party keyboard (Swiftkey 3 works ok) and switch to it. This does not affect Browser, System, etc (stock KB works fine there). The GAPPS from wingray don’t appear to exhibit this behavior from brief feedback (make sure your system is cleaned out using the latest recovery (format system), prior to installing the rom and gapps if you had the set from goo installed prior (it has also been reported that data needed to be wiped as well to rid of the residuals)): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35825009&postcount=3553

    Install Instructions: IMPORTANT TO SEE READ ME IN POST #2 It will save you a lot of headaches when upgrading or updating your Tablet.

    1) Install the latest CWM (see 1st post for more info)

    2) Install ICS bootloaders (1st post) *People who flashed an ICS custom ROM coming from HoneyComb (3.1) do not have the correct bootloaders.

    3) Boot into CWM and flash CM10.1 (Please see READ ME in post #2 for more information)

    4) Flash gapps-jb-20130120-P75xx.zip (see 1st post for download)

    5) Reboot

    pershoot has stated before: "best to wipe as some experience lag with multi user." and "if you get any latency/ bizarro behavior, wipe"

    F.A.Q

    Want Adobe Flash on your Jellybean Tab? (update 05/21/13) New version is (11.1.115.58)
    Check out the latest download here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html Scroll to Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives and download most current (11.1.115.58). *Note: Flash is not supported in Jelly Bean, no support given in this thread as well.

    Need Developer options and Performance tabs?
    Go to settings>About tablet and start tapping Build number until it says your a Dev.

    I am getting sudden reboots or freezes?
    Not all tablets are created equal, if you are experiencing sudden reboots after Overclocking, reset your options back to default.

    I am still rebooting or freezing? :(
    Do a full wipe and DO NOT install anything. If the tablet is not rebooting or freezing, install your apps one at a time to isolate the cause. If you are using Titanium Backup, DO NOT RESTORE DATA FOR SYSTEM APPS.

    I get Force Closes (FC) when I launch ____ app?
    Try clearing data for the application by going Settings>Apps and locate the app and select Clear Data.

    How can I increase Launcher performance?
    Enable wallpaper hack (Settings> Launcher>Homescreen) and select Wallpaper quick render to boost home UI response (when using a static wallpaper).

    Once I am on CM10.1, do I need to continue getting my updates at get.cm?
    No, you can update future nightly builds by going to Settings>About tablet>CyanogenMod updates. Once there, change Update types to "New Versions (incl. Nightlies)" *NOTE: Pay attention to the file name, you might occasionally see CM 9 or 10 in the list, DO NOT FLASH!

    Can I enable Voice Calling on my tablet?
    At this time, the framework has the hook enabled to allow for users to work on the feature. IT IS 100% UNSUPPORTED at this time because it requires you to flash modems which is a deviation from the recommended setup.

    I flashed ___ from another___ thread, now ___ this stopped working?
    Wipe data and flash CM 10.1 from get.cm, does this issue still happen? If so, post logcat... if not, seek support from the thread you flashed the file from.

    I HATE the new layout with the navigation keys in the middle, can I move it?
    At this time, the nav keys in the middle is the design. Who knows, CM Team might change this in future builds.

    OH NO! Where did my previous CWM backup go?
    4.2. changed the file structure on how internal storage is viewed. Data on the internal/fake sdcard will go to 0/ (i.e. /sdcard/0/; /data/media/0/) (both are the same thing).
    Since the internal storage is emulated, it is setup now (using file explorer like ES) /mnt/shell/emulated then you will see /0/; /legacy/; /obb/; and /clockworkmod/. Copy clockwordmod folder to your PC and if you need to, flash back to old ROM with old CWM and then move the backup back to /sdcard and then restore.
    Using the latest recovery, to find /sdcard while in recovery, you will need to adb to /data/media/. *Note: Make sure to have a copy on your PC, I ran out of space before restoring since it is all in the /data.

    Hey! Did you see the easter eggs!!
    So not only is there an easter egg when you press the Android version and long press on the jellybean, but if you hit CyanogenMod version, CM planted one too. But did you know that by doing the easter egg and long pressing on the jellybean, you unlock another one! Go to Daydreams under Display in settings and you will see BeanFlinger!

    My sound is really low or really high when I am using headphones!
    If you are having really low or high volumes while listening with headphones, I recommend Voodoo Sound from Supercurio in the Play Store (Link). This allows you to take control of your volume and change it to your preferences.

    I see cm-10.1-xxxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-p4xxxx.zip on Droidbasement, what's the difference between droidbasement builds and nightlies?
    The UNOFFICIAL builds on droidbasement are experimental builds compiled by pershoot for testing. It is recommended to flash the nightly builds unless specifically asked to test an unofficial build.

    READ ME:

    #If using 4.2.2 and want to roll back to 4.2.1 (last build is Feb 13th), you will need to do a full wipe to move backwards or you will bootloop. (update 02/19/13)

    #PSA from CyanogenMod team: https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/M2pVM7Y6MTq (update 02/19/13)
    ADB Whitelist

    As of the Android 4.2.2 update, when you connect your phone to a computer, you are presented with your computer's RSA key fingerprint to open the adb connection. You also have the ability to permanently trust the computer, so you don't have to repeat this step upon every re-connect.

    In order for this to work, you must be on the latest SDK which will grant you an updated 'adb' binary.

    We will not be introducing any functionality to sidestep this default security, so if you don't update, you will lose the ability to access the device using adb.


    # CM 10.1 is based on Android 4.2.1. Any and all proprietary applications that you have installed outside of CM should be updated to their 4.2.1 counterparts. Do not use the 4.1 versions of proprietary applications, else you will experience difficulties.

    # Do not use the CyanogenMod Updater to go from 10.0 to 10.1. While you will have a functional rom, due to the 1st bullet point, you will be left without your proprietary applications and their data. We highly suggest performing the initial install manually via recovery (flashing CM and your addons). Once you are on 10.1, you can use the CM Updater as per normal.

    # You do not need to wipe when updating to 10.1 if coming from an earlier CM version. However, as we mentioned in the weekend's PSA, users updating (instead of wiping) will experience a conflict in the application data for the Clock app. You are advised to clear this apps data on first boot of 10.1.

    # Another item to note is that the support for the 10.0 feature that allowed for an expanded number of targets on the pattern lockscreen is not in 10.1. If you use this lockscreen, disable it before updating from 10.0.

    # Finally, we always advise that you create a backup before any update. Do note, however, that due to Android 4.2 changes to support multi-user mode, your backups will automatically be transferred to /sdcard/0/[backup folder]. Remember this when attempting to restore 10.0. Credit to post from CyanogenMOD team (G+ https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/9X561GFMxL5)

    Coming from Samsung ICS ROM (custom or not) requires a FULL WIPE (Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache) If you do not WIPE you will get a bootloop.

    From droidbasement:
    GT-P7500 (p4), GT-P7510 (p4wifi), SCH-I905 (p4vzw) and SGH-T859 (p4tmo)
    -For P4VZW: You must be on stock ICS (and it’s modem) before flashing to this build, for LTE functionality
    -For P4WIFI UK: You must be on the US ICS bootloader (odin .tar.md5 inside the .zip in the folder), otherwise you may incur a rolling screen
    -For P4: You must be on the UK ICS bootloader (odin .tar.md5 from AUS inside the folder), otherwise you may incur a rolling screen.
    -For P4*: You must be on the ICS modem for best results.

    BEFORE REPORTING ANY BUGS, PLEASE DO A FULL WIPE AND FLASH AGAIN TO VERIFY THE BUG! ALSO, NOTHING WILL GET FIXED WITHOUT A LOGCAT (we cannot debug xda posts, need a logcat)

    Getting a logcat:

    1) Make sure ADB is installed (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

    2) Open Command Prompt

    3) adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

    4) Locate the logcat and upload to xda

    all, im working on bringing in a new wifi driver which should solve numerous issues and add some more functionality.

    just need to solve one last issue with it (speed is capped when using it on this device).

    once that is sorted (if can be done in a timely manner), then ill put out tests for all devices to ensure it works well in various scenarios.
